Air Compressor advice.

A bit of advice from my own experience. My workshop needed a compressor and I bought one from Machine Mart.

Commercial premises have to have pressure vessels such as compressors tested by an engineer every 12 months to make sure that they are safe.

After the first 12 months the engineer turned up and failed the near new compressor, I asked why and was told that the metal was so thin that the slightest bit of corrosion from water in the air could result in an explosion. I had to buy a new compressor.

My advice would be to do a lot of research and buy quality.
